  • Match whole word only – check this option to search for the whole word only.

  • Match case – check this option to consider the text case when searching.

  • Direction – select the direction of the search by setting the "Up" or "Down" radio buttons.

Find From Selected

For a quick navigation between items containing placeholders, missing media, secondary events and items with triggers that specify the end of automation, use the corresponding command from the "Find from selected" submenu of the currently selected playlist item:

find_from_selected

This command is also available from the "Edit" main menu.

Find Source

To find the item source, select the desired item in the playlist and select the "Find source" command from the "Item" main menu. When the item source is found, the corresponding folder will be opened in the File Explorer, and the actual item will be highlighted.

If the item source cannot be found in the File Explorer, an error occurs:

find_error
Note
The "Find source" command is not available for the items added from the Cinegy Archive database.
